For the fourth straight evening, the Whatcom County high school sports scene was kept in the deep freeze on Thursday, Jan. 19, as the region continues to battle the effects of a series of winter storms.
Just like the three previous days, every Northwest Conference sporting event originally scheduled for Thursday has been postponed.
With the weather finally expected to start warming on Friday, Jan. 20, area athletic directors held a meeting Thursday to start the process of rescheduling the 36 high school events that have been affected by the winter weather.
Some of the events that had previously been rescheduled were moved again on Thursday to accommodate other changes. More changes are still possible, depending on how many games get in on Friday and some other scheduling factors.
Here is a sport-by-sport look at the current reschedule plans for area sporting events scheduled the past four days:
